Just surfing when I found this neat site with all sorts of military aircraft. Mustangs, Spitfires, Saab Draaken, Skyhawks, and more! Even a flyable Harrier.

I would love to have a TBM-3 Avenger. But with only E-5 pay I guess I will have to stick to trucks.

My grandad flew in those during WWII off the Enterprise. After the war he trained on Helldivers which he said he liked more. The reason being that with the Avenger they would fly in low to Japanese ships and then drop their torpedos. After they did that the pilot would bank away from the ship exposing the belly. My grandad said his job after he dropped the torpedo was to get off his chair and then lay down on this little piece of metal plate. He had a .30 cal machine gun that stuck out the bottom that he was then supposed to basically rake the deck of the ship with it.I would love to have a TBM-3 Avenger. But with only E-5 pay I guess I will have to stick to trucks.
He's always amazed that he was never killed or even hit. Crazy times back then.
